I heard through this list some time ago that using a squeegee only on
the emulsion side and letting it air dry face down on screen in a drying
cabinet works the best. When it's dry, it's barely curled and it
flattens easily in a press, 225 deg F, for 2 minutes. I always put it
face down in the press, then pop it into a Mylar sleeve. It is so flat
some days that I could probably skip the press and just put it under
heavy glass (or books, in your case). Hope that helps.

Best way I know is placing the print in a dry mount press (~200 deg F)
for a minute or two. That gives the best, highest quality flattening
effect
I've ever found.

This may sound like a silly question, but have you ever tried
ironing
the edges of dried fiber paper? Would the heat mess something up
about it? I have such a time getting it flat. Surely there's a
better way. I try heavy large books but often can't get it
perfectly
flat.
Thanks.
